New Delhi: Jammu and Kashmir Deputy Chief Minister Nirmal Singh met Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Amit Shah over the party's alliance with the People's Democratic Party (PDP) in the state in the wake of controversial decisions taken by Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed.
BJP national general secretary Ram Madhav was also present in the meeting.
The meeting was called to review the PDP-BJP alliance in the state.
The BJP faced flak from the opposition parties over the release of hardliner Masarat Alam on Saturday from jail despite the BJP's protest. Both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Rajnath Singh had to make statements in the Parliament over the development.
The Prime Minister revealed that the Centre was kept in the dark over the decision. He said Alam was released without informing or consulting the Centre. Modi assured the Opposition that there is no compromise on the unity of the nation and the government will take necessary action soon.
A defensive government came out in full strength to firefight after the controversial decision by Sayeed to release Alam rocked Parliament on Monday.
While replying to the opposition charge, the Home Minister said he was not satisfied with the report he had received from the state department on the issue.
Opposition MPs were adamant on their demand of answer from Modi which led to brief adjournment of both the Houses.
Alam was the mastermind behind the 2010 protests in which hundreds of people lost their lives. He was later arrested on the orders of then Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah.
